TORCHWOOD boss Steven Moffat has slammed John Barrowman who accused him of blocking the sci-fi show’s return.

Moffat said he felt “quite cross” with the actor and has received a barrage of hate mail since Barrowman said Torchwood would return – but only when new Doctor Who boss Chris Chibnall replaces Moffat next year.

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness in the show and on Doctor Who, said back in July: “I’m being told that it can’t come back until it’s got approval from certain people involved with Doctor Who.

“But that might change when somebody leaves, and when somebody new and wonderful comes in.”
